About this experience
The Whale Watching Adventure departs from Oahu's North Shore and takes small groups of friends and family out to observe humpback whales during their seasonal migration. The tour runs from November through April, when humpback whales travel to Hawaii's warm waters. An experienced crew accompanies the trip throughout, offering informative commentary along the way.
This is a private charter, so the boat is reserved for your group alone rather than shared with strangers. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages on board. Because the tour operates on the ocean, it is weather dependent, and conditions can affect whether it runs on a given day.
Before heading out, pack sunscreen, a hat, a light jacket, and a camera. Hotel pickup is not available, so plan to arrange your own transportation to the North Shore meeting point. This tour suits families and friend groups who want a dedicated, private experience on the water during humpback whale season.
